Intakes: March, June/July & Sept/Oct
Mode of Study: Full Time
Duration: 4 years
Credits: 135
Mechanical engineering deals with anything that moves including the human body.
Mechanical engineers learn about materials, statics and dynamics, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, control engineering, industrial engineering, instrumentation and design. It also covers designing and manufacturing everything from small individual parts to large systems such as airplanes and spacecraft.
Mechanical engineering is perhaps the broadest and most diverse engineering discipline as it will require you to learn skills for everything that is made.
If you have these characteristics, then this programme may suit you.
This programe involves the principles of engineering such as statics, materials science, design and analysis of mechanical parts and systems.
This field also requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis, electrical and electronic system.
Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided design, and product lifecycle management to design and analyse manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transportation systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and others.
Solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry is required for a student to acquire knowledge and skills effectively in his/her learning process in this programme.
Graduates of this programme will be capable of performing engineering tasks in the manufacturing or production sectors, power generation, oil and gas sectors, transportation (road, train, naval, aircraft), building services and construction industries.
PEO 1 : Graduates with adequate knowledge and competency in various fields of mechanical engineering.
PEO 2 : Graduates with professional attributes, and are adaptable to the global work environment.

This programme is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) and recognized by the Malaysian Government. EAC is a delegated body by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) as the only recognized accrediting body for engineering degree programmes offered in Malaysia.
This degree is also internationally recognised under the Washington Accord, a multi-national agreement which recognises the substantial equivalency of engineering degree programmes accredited by the responsible bodies in each of the current signatory countries.
** Provisional Signatories are recognised as having appropriate systems and processes in place to develop towards becoming a Full Signatory.
Recognition under the Washington Accord allows graduates to be recognised worldwide for career opportunities or for further education progression.
After graduation, an engineer needs to register with the Board of Engineers Malaysia to be a graduate engineer. After a few years of practical experience (supervised by a professional engineer), the graduate engineer can apply to sit for Professional Interview (with IEM). If he/she passes the Interview, he/she can apply to BEM to be a Professional Engineer that entitles him/her to use the title Ir.
The Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) is a federal statutory agency under the Ministry of Works Malaysia established under the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 (REA 1967). Amongst its primary roles are to register Graduate Engineer (GE), Engineering Technologist (ET), and Inspector of Works (IoW) and to regulate the professional conduct and practice of registered Persons to safeguard the safety, health and interest of the public.
